+## SSH Timeouts and connection time
+
+Over time, there have always been a few complains about SSH connection timeout errors and slow SSH connection startup. These especially popped up in the latest release even though no obvious code was changed.
+
+As it turns out, increasing the value for `ConnectTimeout` in SSH does not actually only change the timeout after which an error is thrown, it is also used by some servers as a guideline for their response time.
+E.g. if you specify a 10s timeout, some servers will always take 10s to respond.
+This is of course not mentioned in any of the spec but is more of an implementation choice.
+
+In the latest release this caused more errors as the timeout was set higher.
+It should also have affected many SSH connections basically since the release of XPipe.
+I don't know how many people have been affected by this, it heavily depends on which ssh server and configuration your server runs.
+It for example happens on proxmox instances and my AWS EC2 instances.
+
+This release should fix all of these issues simple by not specifying a connect timeout at all. Great work there.
+
+I would like to exchange a few words with whoever thought: *A newly connected SSH client specified a 10s connect timeout, that means we can sit around idle for 9 seconds. That is a great idea.*
+Load balancing my ass, this also happens if the system is completely idle.
